3* Name:
4* palRvlsrd
5
6* Purpose:
7* Velocity component in a given direction due to the Sun's motion
8* with respect to the dynamical Local Standard of Rest.
9
10* Language:
11* Starlink ANSI C
12
13* Type of Module:
14* Library routine
15
16* Invocation:
17* double palRvlsrd( double r2000, double d2000 )
18
19* Arguments:
20* r2000 = double (Given)
21* J2000.0 mean RA (radians)
22* d2000 = double (Given)
23* J2000.0 mean Dec (radians)
24
25* Returned Value:
26* Component of "peculiar" solar motion in direction R2000,D2000 (km/s).
27
28* Description:
29* This function returns the velocity component in a given direction
30* due to the Sun's motion with respect to the dynamical Local Standard
31* of Rest. The result is +ve when the Sun is receding from the given
32* point on the sky.
33
34* Notes:
35* - The Local Standard of Rest used here is the "dynamical" LSR,
36* a point in the vicinity of the Sun which is in a circular orbit
37* around the Galactic centre. The Sun's motion with respect to the
38* dynamical LSR is called the "peculiar" solar motion.
39* - There is another type of LSR, called a "kinematical" LSR. A
40* kinematical LSR is the mean standard of rest of specified star
41* catalogues or stellar populations, and several slightly different
42* kinematical LSRs are in use. The Sun's motion with respect to an
43* agreed kinematical LSR is known as the "standard" solar motion.
44* To obtain a radial velocity correction with respect to an adopted
45* kinematical LSR use the routine palRvlsrk.
